Reince Preibus, Mitch McConnell, John McCain and Paul Ryan on this. Let's throw in Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannity. This is the litmus test. If you can defend or support Trump after this, you are truly weak and pathetic human beings.

No matter how the matter is parsed, Trump's comments are clearly calling the single-issue 2nd amendment gun owners to bring their armed power threats into the fray.

He is saying that within the Trump tribe trying to stop Madame President, the only political power with enough clout is in the not yet cold dead hands of the armed segment of their big-pup-tent tribe.

... and try to make you believe he meant something different, but don't believe it.

We don't have to meet court-of-law prosecutorial standards before we can condemn and call-out behavior like that. We know EXACTLY what he meant! It was an inflammatory lie, followed by a call-to-action for his supporters.

IT WAS A THREAT!!

His denying what he meant by that is along the lines of someone denying that "see you next Tuesday" doesn't mean anything vulgar and misogynistic either.

He's exhausted all of his other stunts, so he's just going to jump into the big black hole.

He promised "showmanship" at the start of this...I just think he's filming what is, in his mind, the ultimate "reality show."

The first clue was when he said that Pence would be handling everything while he attended to "Making America Great." To be more accurate, it was his son who made that assertion, but I still take it as a valid statement of intention.

This is all a goof to him, and he's channeled a boatload of money back into the Trump coffers by staging "events" at his properties like Mar a Lago.

It's theater. I don't think he's stupid. I just think that he lacks a conscience and feels that this is all about him. He knows exactly what he's doing, and why he's doing it.
